JACKSONVILLE — The big-league scouts arrived early and often at Rudy Abbott Field in hopes of procuring the best possible vantage point to watch two All-American outfielders play. They got plenty of info to fill their notebooks — and got a scare, to boot.

JSU gets up and running
JACKSONVILLE — The first day of spring practice is supposed to be the first step toward preparing a college football team for the fall — but given Wednesday’s conditions, this opening day might have given the Gamecocks a taste for a reward that could await them much later in the year. “Like we’re preparing to play in Montana for the playoffs, that’s what it felt like out there,” said Gamecocks coach Jack Crowe, who fought off the chill in a black toboggan. “It was a lot colder than the temperature. It put a chill in you, that’s for sure, but they didn’t flinch. They’re a lot closer to playing in it than I am. I’d have been shaking.”

Mbodji ready for senior moment
JACKSONVILLE — Amadou Mbodji doesn’t have to look far to find motivation for Jacksonville State’s trip to start the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. It’s do-or-die time, and as the team’s only senior, Mbodji knows the Gamecocks’ next loss will be his final college game. He’d like to delay the end as long as possible.

Murphy’s big play big for Gamecocks
Nick Murphy is listed at 6-foot-3 in all of Jacksonville State’s basketball literature, but if you looked at the box score after every game you’d swear he was a lot bigger. He just plays that way.

JSU's Big Hall
Stephen Hall is answering the call. Back during the Christmas break, Jacksonville State basketball coach James Green had a heart-to-heart with Hall. His message was basically that the Gamecocks needed the 6-foot-5 sophomore forward to fight through whatever was ailing him and step it up if they were going to have any success when the Ohio Valley Conference schedule resumed after the first of the year.
